Jack Greene - Honey Lyrics

See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big

I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig

Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die

Came runnin' in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried

She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so

I surprised her with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago

And it would sure embarrass her

When I came home from working late cause I would know

That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' over some sad and silly late late show

And honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad

But what the heck

Though I pretended hard to be guess you could say she saw through me

And hugged my neck

I came home unexpectedly and found her crying needlessly in the middle of the day

And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing she went away

And honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I could

Yes one day while I wasn't home while she was there and all alone the angels came

Now all I have are memories of honey and I wake up nights and I call her name

And now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey played and love grew up

And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down in the flower bed that honey loved

And honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I could
